You see, but you do not observe.

the iPhone X doesn’t really feel like a thousand dollar phone ☎️

just lying on a table it’s a featureless slab honestly indistinguishable from any other android phone from last year

thinking about going back to the 8

apple pay got 100x better after chip+signature became ubiquitous in the us. let me stand here for 30 seconds with my card in the terminal waiting for it to make an error sound indicating the transaction was approved. or wave my phone for 2 seconds and walk away while the people in line behind me stand up and clap

yes it is all frozen and prepared food and plastic wrapped salad greens and plastic wrapped produce

that's why you go to the amazon food hole for all the fresh stuff. trader joes is good if you want a couple cheap dips for a party

Then you have a responsibility that no man has ever faced. You have your fear which could become reality, and you have Godzilla, which is reality.

HEB is good but i am not going to expect a regional privately held grocery chain that targets mostly toward low income areas to be super up to date with technology.

THE POSSESSION OF WEALTH IS IN AND OF ITSELF A SIGN OF POOR VIRTUE. AS SUCH:
1 NEVER TRUST ANY RICH PERSON.
2 NEVER HIRE ANY RICH PERSON.
BY RULE 1, IT IS APPROPRIATE TO PRESUME THAT ALL DEGREES AND CREDENTIALS HELD BY A WEALTHY PERSON ARE FRAUDULENT. THIS JUSTIFIES RULE 2--RULE 1 NEEDS NO JUSTIFIC

apple pay works fine and has almost universal adoption. why would they give up on the most successful phone payment system outside of africa/scandinavia?
iOS has over 50% market share in Sweden.

Apple pay now works with Nordea, one of the big banks in Sweden. It also works with MasterCards offered by ST1, a gas station chain. Anyone can get a ST1 MasterCard that has apple pay support now. Works at all stores with contactless payment support which is most stores.

What verb did the banks in Sweden decide to use for paying with a contactless card?

Blip or "blippa"
verb
6. give (someone) money using wireless technology.

Blip bloop bloop blip.

riker, the face of the :wtc: smiley, is a character in a television show called star trek: the next generation. in an episode of that tv show, the character riker does the things dixie cretin seamen referenced in his post, except the place is called risa, rather than riga.

the humour being that cinci didn't get the reference, but still managed to respond using the appropriate image
